Like Jonny and Dr. Murray, I find this theory that diet soda could
make you fat quite compelling. (Several reputable physicians and
experts believe this is the case, and they told me as much when I
interviewed them.)

But let’s say that you’re skeptical of such claims. "How could diet
drinks put on weight?," you may wonder. Maybe you’re even inclined to
believe the well-funded soft drink industry’s point of view.

Well, then, don’t believe the research and the reaction to the
research. Just test out the theory on yourself. Stop drinking diet
soda, quit eating those culprit carbs and choose quality carbs instead,
get ample protein and good fats, and then see what happens.

Make sure to write us here if you lose weight when you take out the diet drinks.

I'm a former sugar-addicted journalist, who reluctantly quit sugar on doctor's orders in 1998. When all 44 of my crippling ailments vanished, I began interviewing hundreds of experts worldwide so I could give you the sour scoop about sweets. Fast forward 17 years, and I'm now author of Sugar Shock (Berkley Books, 2006) and Beyond Sugar Shock (Hay House, 2012). The latter gives you a simple, proven plan to easily squash your sugar habit. I'm also a motivational speaker, a certified life coach, a certified health coach, frequent media guest, and Gab with the Gurus host. I'm now planning the first first Sugar World Summit and I'm finishing writing my next book, Crush Your Crazy Cravings™, which will help you easily escape your must-have-junk-food moments.

About Me

I'm a former sugar-journalist, who grudgingly kicked sugar on doctor's orders in 1998. After my 44 debilitating ailments vanished, I became energized and determined to dig up the sour news about sugar. In 2006, my first book, Sugar Shock (Berkley Books), woke people up to the many dangers of sugar overload. My most recent book, Beyond Sugar Shock (Hay House, 2012), gives readers a simple, proven plan to easily release your sugar habit.

I'm now completing my next book, Crush Your Crazy Carb Cravings™, which gives you quick, easy tools to conquer your junk-food-now urges.
I was inspired to write this after my Crazy Cravings™ after the difficult death of my mother in 2012. I'm also planning the first Sugar World Summit, which will feature 40 gurus to help you Get a Sweeter Life Naturally™.

About Me

Now I'm known as an Accidental Sugar Liberator, but in 1998, I was a sugar-addicted journalist, plagued by 44 mysterious ailments. After I very reluctantly quit sweets and refined carbohydrates on on doctor's orders, ALL of my baffling symptoms -- from ferocious headaches, to heart palpitations to nagging brain fog -- completely vanished! Driven by my new passion to dig up the sour news about sweets, I interviewed hundreds of people for my books, Sugar Shock (Berkley Books, December 2006) and Beyond Sugar Shock (Hay House, 2012). One or both books were endorsed by many gurus, including Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Dr. Daniel Amen, and Dr. Christiane Northrup. Now, I'm also a transformational speaker, Gab with the Gurus host, a certified health coach and certified life coach. I'm now planning the first Sugar World Summit, and I'm writing my next book, Crush Your Crazy Carb Cravings™.
